Answer:

(2) exchange food, oxygen, and waste between

mother and fetus

Explanation:

In most mammals like humans, the fetus produced as a result of the fertilization of the sperm and egg, develops in the uterus or womb of the female. However, this developing fetus cannot yet fend for what it requires for survival and is still dependent on the mother e.g nutrients, oxygen etc. How do this substances get to the fetus? Here comes the role of the PLACENTA.

Placenta is an organ in the uterus that serves as a connection between the mother and the fetus in her womb. The placenta enables the mother to pass digested nutrients to the fetus and exchange gases (oxygen and Carbondioxide) between them via the umbilical cord. The placenta also enables the mother remove waste produced by the fetus into her bloodstream.

Vijay really enjoys eating ice cream. the joy he receives from eating it comes from the dopamine reward center in which area of
alisha [4.7K]

The pleasure and the reward centers of the brain are control by the neurotransmitter known as dopamine. Besides this, the emotional responses and the movements of a person are also controlled by dopamine.

The reward response from eating ice cream is related to the nucleus accumbens  part of the brain. The nucleus accumbens is a part of the basal forebrain, present in each of the brain hemispheres. The dopamine neurons in the VTA (Ventral tegmental area) are activated when the activity such as eating ice cream occurs. These neurons are projected into the nucleus accumbens, and their activation gives a feeling of pleasure.

Hence, the answer is 'nucleus accumbens'.
